CRITIC REVIEWS
Neal Martin
The 2020 Chapelle d'Ausone has ample toasty oak on the nose, which continues to shade the black fruit underneath. Yet it coheres in the glass, finally allowing the terroir to shine through. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins and a fine bead of acidity. It's very harmonious, with a precise and persistent finish. There's wonderful mineralite and tension here superb. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting.

Tasted blind. Very dark. Sweet, inviting black fruit. Smooth, lightly leafy but nicely meshed already, fruit and freshness around a well-set tannic framework. Embryonic but well set for the future. (JH)
